John Barry Council Ship St. Vincent Aug 1820 16 May 1820 10 Nov 1820 1 Dec 22 Journal of occurrences on board the "John Barry" male convict ship, between the 16th day of May 1821 and the 16th Nov. 1821, during a voyage to New South Wales.

Mr. Dan Macnamara Surgeon and Printer.

16th May 1821. The ship having completed her voyage sailed to day from Deptford for Cork, there to take on prisoners on board for Port Jackson. Mr. Claydon, Surgeon of convict ship "John Bull" with his wife and five children being passengers for Cork, and Mr. Mitchell of the "Imson" of the 28th Sept. Oct. 1st. Arrived English with his wife, passengers by order of Government for New South Wales. Anchored at night off Margate Sands.

17th. At 8 P.M. anchored in the Downs.

18th. Sailed again having first taken on board from boats for the preventive service at Cork, with Secretary of Navy Board writing on proceeding.

22nd. Anchored in the Cove of Cork at 8 A.M. Reported arrival at the office of the Naval Commander in Chief and of the Agent for Transports, with Secretary of Navy Board.

23rd. Letter from Navy Board enclosing copy of letter from Master and Lieut. of vessel. Letter from Mr. Board's letter. 35. The guard consisting of an officer and 29 men of the 1st. Bt. with four women and two children embarked to-day. Ninety male convicts were otherwise sent on board, all seemingly in good health and chiefly young men. A bed blanket and pillow are issued to each officer and convict.

31. The weather prevents the embarkation of the third division of the convicts. On entering the prison this morning an unexpected scene met our eyes. About ten men on their knees together in the act of prayer. Their clothes were filthy and filthy were their faces. Both Navy Board reporting embarkation of the first and first division of the convicts.

1st June. Ninety more prisoners arrived all in good health. Under orders of Navy Board Martin their embarkation. All the prisoners have been sent on board shorn in issue clothing from the prison at last. The following articles are supplied each man and the articles of the denomination supplied at Deptford for convicts on embarkation are to be turned to the use of each seaman in lieu of his clothing. viz. 1 cap. 1 shirt. 1 pair trousers. 1 pair stockings. 1 cloth jacket and 1 cloth waistcoat. First provisions are supplied every day by a person in our care who has a contract for this purpose.

3rd Sunday. Had service of the liturgy of the state. Which I have fitted up as a chapel for their occasions. They all behaved with profound attention and respect. An address which I had them of the greatest advantage to consult behaviour and showing its advantages.

04. Prisoners well-behaved, piton clean and in order.

05. First burning in the prison stoves all day.

06. Prisoner a officer of the guard was this day placed on board by orders sent for the purpose in obedience to the nature of a sentry. Master Pitt on board here on the 20th. The officer was also directed to the officer of the guard on the day of embarkation in advising to stand on:

07. Our Nicholas Duffy another officer of the party who, rather than embark, surrendered him.

08. As a deserter from another regiment. The deserter is punished and ordered to proceed with us. As a deserter with our guard. Pitt was all well-behaved. Our sick. Old papers, gilt school books and letters for the use of the prisoners on the voyage. The order for the supply of their victuals was given by the Inspector of Prisoners on my representation of them of the first 24.

09. They may be during the voyage.

10. Prisoners exchanged for those shown from both sides. All in good order on board. 2 ships.

11. Ordered into handcuffs for disobedience to the law. A master, a man, and several other officers of the guard have continued to get liquor on board and are nearly insinuated by its use. A man and another convicted of the same, nearly drunk. Another threatened to fire amongst the convicts after stood on trial. The convicts complained to me, and the office of the judge on the representation both of which meant to prevent injury being done. At a list of punishments during the voyage, with the place at the end of the journal, I think it better in future (in any particular case may occur) to omit the listing of punishments in the days onward, and refer to the last alluded to, a list in our view the record that was added to prevent or restrain any disposition on the part of the convicts towards disorderly behavior, and the mode usually used to prevent disorder for which actually committed.

10th. Sunday. And prayed in the prison and a sermon, corresponding for the third of the holy scriptures. The prisoners all behaved with great propriety and sobriety with great attention. Before breakfast, the Bible, Testament, and Prayer-Book. The ladies with copies of both. Kindly but severely. When we on board, there with the large number of persons present, have afforded ample means of instruction. Both of such material consequences in a religious.

12th. There is not a single convict amongst all those who have that had brought with him any article of help, strictly belonging to himself. I am not sorry for it, as it will be the means of preventing trouble that would arise in consequence of the possession of them to theft. But their poverty obliges one to fear to take a shirt and trousers on addition to those that already exist. But it would have been totally insufficient for them consistent with regard to cleanliness. Every article of clothes they possess I have caused to be number for the purposes of security and order. Pistols continue to behave exceedingly well. Washed all white shirts and trousers. It is ordered at a parole that it is infringed only on very particular circum- stances that all shirts shall be washed on Mondays and Thursdays and trousers on Fridays in each week.

15. The warrant allowing our departure is an order for the whole of the convicts mustered by Mr. Fawcett the inspector of Penit. Mr. Lewis the agent for transports inspected the ship's crew. Convicts all well behaved and orderly. Our sick in the

16. At 5 a.m. we left from Cork. All in good order on board. With Secretary of Navy Board

17. Reporting our departure and the orderly state of the prisoners.

18. Sunday. Read Prayers, and a sermon by the Rev. Mr. Fawcett from 1st. 11. 27. in the prison to the convicts. The greater number of them are absolutely the sick. Those who remain well attended with care and coming interest. Besides

19. a convict and a man recommended from the prison at Cork, reports to me that convicts

20. times are frequent amongst the convicts. Ex-

21. pecting the possibility of seeing the ship. I have

22. from experience how common reports of this Fathers are in convict ships and I therefore feel no real evidence to the truth or otherwise the reality of such an intention. So many persons of idle and vicious habits shut up together must have something to talk about, and sedition and insurrection are the worst they will indulge in. The worst however is to keep attention awake, and to prevent any prayer on the part of the convicts to their duty of the utmost vigilance in order with all possible care.

Weather 1° 62°.

20th. 124° 07' N. Long. 13° 46' 2° 75'. Fine weather. No more prisoners arriving. Pitons clean and in order. General health very good. As usual on first coming a list of convict ships' officers on deck in the morning appointed to come up during certain hours caused a disposition to inflammatory complaints. I have divided our prisoners into three divisions of 100 men each. The hours of their day on deck are from 6 a.m. to 6 in the morning to 10 o'clock, then to 2 p.m. and the time from the hour to 6 p.m. This order is to be observed throughout the voyage.

21st. Ordered all the prisoners and made a list of particular respecting the heads, education, religion, crime, and whether they had had small-pox. Each man had a pint of wine, with the exception of those on the punishment list, and those whose health forbids it. The time of their visit being I choose as a judge our to inspect this state of cleanliness, appearance be as they individually pass before me to drink their allowance.

22. Dec. 39. 10. N. long 15° 20' W. Tho. 75. Our sick in bed. Fine weather. Convict behaves with strict order and decency. Tired in the prison all day.

23. Dec. 11. N. long 15° 20' W. Tho. 75. Sunday. Fine weather, none sick in bed. Prayers and a sermon in the prison. The sermon by Burden from the Psalms of the Psalms. Prison in my life saw a most attentive audience. Many hung down their heads and wept. Profound silence. At dinner signed General health excellent. Wine good.

24. Dec. 39. 12. N. long 15° 20' W. Tho. 75. Fine weather. One confined to bed. When in the prison this morning I was addressed by the prisoners in a body, repeating the words they understood had caused one of their number to leave the ship. They repeated their state ignorance of such a plot and avowed their innocence. They said of such an opportunity of obtaining I thought that such reports had created and that measures of precaution had in consequence been taken. Had them from the hold of such an undertaking and informed them that I believed the reports to be false and unconfirmed, and expressed my satisfaction with their behaviour since they had been on board. So day I distributed school books, before, I have been and kindness what I may call my school. Among the convicts there are so she cannot read or write, in their prison I have given books and placed them in useful order their air. 30th. St. Martin. Very fine weather. 7.75. Our last days remark. So thing has happened in this article. The prison is clean and comfortable. The fine area of the house is washed every morning, the bottom boards of the under tier of last place taken out and the whole underneath them swept clean; and on Mondays the whole prison deck swept washed. This course of washing and cleaning is as regularly attended to as the 2nd part of meals or the house of art. The fine weather under tows or first in the prison, necessary for the patient. The convicts are exceedingly well behaved, there are very few of what are esteemed bad characters in a conv. But ship amongst them. I mean that I have lost a sick prisoner on board, with the exception of a sailor. During the last 7 days I have had but one additional prisoner on my sick list, and the cause of his application to the was liver.

1st July. Lat. 31. 20 N Long. 79. 24 W. T. 85. Sunday. The weather and a sermon by Binder from John vi. 37. to the prisoners assembled in the prison. Thank God I never saw a more attentive audience. During the sermon a wine, indicated the state of health and cleanliness of Each man. All in fine order. Hours till 9.

At 20.29 N. Long 23.57 W. The weather is now to be fine and the heat to last for some weeks. I have thought it proper to take their cloth jackets and waistcoats from all the convicts and have them put in barrels until bad weather shall require them to be removed. School thing very well.

At 10.30 N. Long 24.57 W. Fog. Sunday. Prayers and a sermon by Mr. D. from Luke xviii. 18. to a most attentive audience in the prison. Their yard. In inspection all the prisoners have a healthy and cleanly appearance. Prison clean and comfortable. Prisoners well behaved and orderly.

Four prisoners arrived from double and 12 from single yard. The number now are 29 wholly imprisoned, and 28 in single yard, or 119 on our list only.

At 14.10 N. Long 25.40 W. 07. Last night a quarrel took place in the prison between one of the watchmen and some of the prisoners. The watchman received a blow on the head which wounded him and caused a considerable flow of blood. In the mode of punishment of those concerned the punishment consisted. The whole was accidental and entirely improper.

To the general health excellent. Prison in fine order.

At 11.03 N. Long 23.52 W. 07. A brisk of the wind very insular in their conduct, indeed almost maraud. The unequal distribution of their allowance of water amongst themselves the cause. To preserve... 15. The prayer and a sermon in the prison. The convicts behaved with entire attention. Sermon by Mr. Bland from Acts viii. 39. 40. From the necessity to restrict the conduct of our & the officers of the guard to the officers of the guard. The cause of present complaint was the treatment of our convicts. He was severely reprehended and cautioned. Demonstrated more caution.

16. 26 Nov. 1471. T. D. O.

17. 29 Nov. 1471. W. L. J. sent a note to the Governor giving our information by letter that a plot was formed by some of the convicts to murder the guards and make their escape. He otherwise says that some of the officers of the guard are connected in the matter.

18. 30 Nov. 1471. W. L. J. sent a note to the Governor giving our information as the only cause of alarm. The guard is now on the alert for the duty as to be properly be shown for any refusal of the first battalion of the regiment (the local force) and to reinforce the 2nd battalion in India. Two of these are idiots. That prisoners held in check by such people should continue to make their escape. Does not all the prisoners and that there should be some amongst the guard who would as gladly go to any part of the world as far as the convicts. He says that the guard is not sufficient of itself to resist, so that it is Mention only to a few, and those by no means such characters, as would induce others to follow them. The last act of the convicts, and in this class I would rank, go out of the 18th. I am convinced, knowing of it or I should before this time have heard of it from various quarters. But reports of insurrection on board convict ships at 1797 before (page) are not to be considered at all times as founded in truth. Every person, however, is taken to prevent any disturbance. Indeed (allowing the guard to be only faithful) the apprehension of the bare possibility that the convicts would attempt to take possession of the ship with the convicts, we have had established were never so came to be deemed a madness. It will be seen by reference to the last years that corporal punishments are allowed on deck at our time in their present condition and anticipating the subject of cross the masts and divisions have been absolutely changed and intruding. Such a number of lessons for the most part encumbered with iron on their legs and without offensive arms, having a thousand and high barricado steps and never helped but folly as it has to be so in such or opposition. 24th. Lat. 6° 00' N. Long. 13° 40' W. T. 02. Sunday. Read prayers and a sermon on Luke xiv. 18 in the prison. My conduct behaved with decency, attention, and interest. Hour actual on Sunday. Prison in fine order.

25th. Lat. 3° 20' N. Long. 17° 15' W. T. 02. Equally with care Sunday. Read prayers and a sermon in the prison. An orderly and attentive congregation. A young man in the boys' prison refusing to attend prayers on the plea of being a Roman Catholic gave me an opportunity of preaching on the intention of my care in regularly reading prayers to them on Sundays. I denied all intention of conversion, but for the sake... I order above I should insist on the presence of the whole of them on these occasions. A strong feeling of dissatisfaction of the conduct of the man whose behaviour drew forth my attention seemed to provoke my audience. The fellow is one of the worst characters in the prison, his name (O'Keeffe) will be found in the punishment list. He was of course obliged to attend during the service. There are only 1000 Protestants amongst the whole of the convicts, and considering the prejudices of Roman Catholics it had often impressed me with what earnest help and care they seemed to place themselves forward to catch as much as possible every word of the service. Several present told me the last week's have complained of prurient desires, and affections of the bowel, arising I believe chiefly from the hot, moist and variable weather we have had. Little care suffices to remove their complaint. Now confined to bed. 3rd. Dec. 1805. 10th. Dec. 1805. This weather turned up into books a large number of the soldiers religious books supplied me for the convicts by the late Bishop Cuthbert and distributed them amongst the convicts and the ship's crew. They were most gladly received. School teaching, very much attention generally speaking shown by the convicts. Mission Chan and in fine order. 5th August. Lat. 47° 37'. Long. 20° 18'. N. W. T. 2. Trade wind. Sunday. Prayed and a sermon by Burden. An attempt to visit and assist congregations. General health of the crew. We have not had a sick person in 20 days. No sick. Bowel complaints and purgative disorders are the chief causes of application to us for medical aid. Saloon and purgatives in good order.

9th. Lat. 47° 37'. Long. 32° 14'. N. W. T. 2. Trade wind. Weather the master stating the imprudence and necessity of touching at some port on the way to New South Wales for the purpose of obtaining refreshments. I think it would be a pity if this were to the Navy's hand and would take further notice of it in the future.

9th. Lat. 47° 43'. Long. 33° 15'. N. W. T. 2. Trade wind. The punishment list for confinement in handcuffs of 5 men of whose intention to cause insurrection I am informed by John Smyth a convict. The charge that the informer incurs within his talk is true or false, prevents me from pursuing confronting this man with the persons whom he accuses. The measure I have pursued of confining 'till the arbitrary and unjustly unjust, it under the circumstances of the case, one that I should not feel myself warranted in omitting. Besides inconvenience only is suffered, and health is not in the least endangered. In all cases of hand-cuffing, the handcuffs are taken off during the night, and put on again in the morning. Interchange all the divisions, except the sleeping quarters, lowest orderly and with us. Have as men can possibly be under their in-

12th. Sunday. Read prayers to the prisoners and an address respecting the objects of religion that have marked me. Tended to be useful to say the aegis.

Pray to God to show the folly and madness of revolt. Strong burst of good feeling on every side from me. The best evidence that very few persons of my audience could be restrained. Character in the present case determined on violence and murder. The whole conduct of the prisoners since they have been on board has been highly praiseworthy. General health.

13th. Calm. Long 65° 55' W. Very fine weather. At about half past seven o'clock this morning while the ship was at anchor, the bell in the cabin under the poop, was rung by the discharge of a musquet on deck, in midship, followed by another a second and a third. All was confusion in a moment. Each prisoner raised arms, and before we could reach the deck and ascertain the cause of alarm a fire of musquetry took place from the officers' apartments into the prison. I first made my way to the larboard gangway and finding able gendarmes called to cease firing. At this time the master and the officers of the guard being that the alarm was found they started themselves to stop the firing. The latter ran down into the main room, but before his arrival the wounded could be heard about 100 or 200 feet from the door. The first thing into the prison. The light (i.e., firing) was still not a sound from the prison, but the morning of the wounded. The door was immediately opened, and was quiet within. Had there been any number of convicts out of bed, it would have been impossible for them to have returned into their beds, with their coats on without being heard on their way to bed, and by the excited testimony of some man in the prison, that watched men only were out of bed. That no crowd was there is certain, for had there been it would have been impossible to stop the bullets that were fired. But the evidence of my own ears was satisfactory to me on this point. There were two wounded, two severely, our sightly. There was a more fortunate escape. The distance of the wounds prove the prisoners to have been lying down when they were received, thus helping with in a breach of the main hatchway. But, being a man who had before now threatened what he had this night performed (Mr. J. Jones) was the sentinel at the hatchway who first discharged his musket and fired the alarm. He says that noise was made in the prison, that he in vain called to them to discontinue the firing and not being able to find among them. With the cold indifference that a man would feel on going into an armory, a flock of wildfowl he found himself in the shed. He sent to me from his tour of voice and manner to be affected by the use of liquor. Up to the moment of this writing, the convicts generally speaking, since they have been on board have behaved with decency, order, and submission to every command they have received. Such requisites for their good conduct is necessary and highly essential.

G. L. S. 1st. Very fine weather. Sunday. Read prayers and a sermon in the prison. All behaved with attention and decency. Said a few words of prayer on the subject of last night's occurrences. The officer of the guard had some unwillingly on the deck of the ship. Many customs to placing leave under arrest without my demand of such a procedure. Have therefore with him charging away with being the prisoner a helped a ground of alarm, declaring my intention of reporting the case before the first sufficient an.

Thence we may wait for the proceedings of surgeons and charging him as the object of that for murder should either of the wounded prisoners lose their lives. The testimony of two of these sailors who were close by the for hatchway post to say that a crowd had collected around that hatchway in the prison, and that the convicts' orders were only answered by bad language. But for what you: poor could this crowd have been collected? or how in the dark could it be known that it was possible? Surely it could not be supposed that at such an early hour in the night, the dark covered with armed soldiers (for they had but just left off their usual 20th. Anchored in the St. Lawrence at 9 P.M. for the purpose of procuring refreshments for the convicts and guard. Objects arrived on board his Majesty's ship, commanded by the senior naval officer in port.

21st. A supply of fresh beef, vegetables, and fruit for the convicts, guard, and passengers. The supply is to be continued every day while we may remain in harbour. General health very good, pitiable, convicts orderly and well behaved. Saw Capt. Halsey of H.M. ship and wanted to know the late occurrence on board the ship. He declines any interference in the matter.

25th. Read prayer and a sermon by Mr. Brown from Luke xx: 35-36. The convicts behaved with usual attention.

29th. Sailing from the St. Lawrence. All the prisoners who had been released from those previously in the ship. we now again embark—leaving a detachment of 29 men under the command of Mr. B. But the rest are now armed with musquets in the day and only being one day in port the whole of the convicts were ordered to remain on deck till the entire day, that is from 6 o'clock in the morning until the convicts left home in the evening. Wounded men recovering the four men noticed in on the 3rd. As they were at liberty as any three of the prisoners while the remainder in harbour, but they are now returned to their former state of daily confinement.

14th Sept. Lake 57° 51' Long 41° 01' W. 7° 68'. Fine weather and S.W. Sunday. Read prayers and a sermon in the prison. All behaved with usual good conduct on those occasions. The prayer meetings still continue amongst the prisoners on Sunday evenings, much to my satisfaction and I hope to their advantage.

We left yesterday the ship of lemon juice by Sugar was recommenced. Mustard and Dr. Price's jackets and waistcoats called in on the 7th and now again distributed, and by the precaution taken are as good as new & their respective alms in good order on board.

5th Lake 53° 30' Long 40° 17' W. Equally with rain. Several persons both sailors, soldiers, and convicts have, within the last three days been afflicted with bowel complaints, arising from fear of vegetable food and perhaps in part from change of weather. Very little medical aid relieved them in a short time. All in good order. The five prisoners mentioned on the 9th 29th. Letters are this day finally received.

9th. Lat 36° 17' Long 10° 29' W. 57°. We sail with rain.

Sunday. With difficulty was able to read prayers

and a sermon in the prison 2 days. The weather was

over the deck and gets down the hatchways.

Sailors are hung up to windward to prevent

the inconvenience as far as possible. The

admission to bowel complaint abates. No less

than 10 prisoners amongst the convicts have been

afflicted by them. All in good order. Prisoners

first lights in the stoves in the prison, and in the

hospital.

12th. Lat 38° 44' Long 11° 44' W. 139°. Fine weather. They come

from Mr. Archibald several prisoners from whom being

noticed their uniform good conduct. The numbers

now five are 48 from double rows and 38 in single

rows. The behaviour of the convicts continues

to be what it has hitherto been, highly satisfactory.

Prison is now opened on Wednesday and Sundays.

The former plan is strictly adhered to. Of drinking water

at the tub, and their undergoing inspection of

clothes etc. First light burning every day in the

prison which is clean dry and comfortable.

13th. Lat 37° 35' Long 10° 39' W. 137°. Kind S. E. heavy sea &

rain Sunday. Bad weather for the first time since

I have been on board has prevented our trading here

on this day. The heavy motion of the ship, the sea forced

by breathing over the deck, and the general disorder accompanying a gale of wind and rain, the forecast at 21 began to the service impossible. It has been in daily use throughout the week in the prison. Since Sunday, the prison clean and comfortable. As care was taken in it. 29th. Lat. 30° 32' Long. 10° 17' 34' Wind N.E. with rain. Sunday. Read prayers and a sermon from Rev. 11: 17. Left Sunday to the prisoners. The behavior with their accustomed attention and order. The weather through the last week with extremely wind less every day in the day in the prison, especially in the evening. Storm which I caused to be carried about through various parts of the prison during several hours. The behavior of the prisoners is highly satisfactory. The general health is excellent. There is not a man that can be called sick in the ship. Prison clean, dry, and comfortable. 26th. Lat. 31° 19' Long. 20° 10' 34' Wind N.W. Very fair weather, but rain and storm the last four days. All bedding issued and spread to the men of ship. Furs in the prison every day. Convicts orderly and well behaved. Prison clean and dry. General health excellent. 30th. Lat. 42° 39' Long. 32° 30' 34' Wind N.E. Friday. Sunday. Read prayers and a sermon to the convicts. They behaved with order and attention with the ex- ception of three or four men whose wine I have stopped for drinking during the time of prayers in one of the distant land place. This is a precautionary measure for more supplies would perhaps have been sufficient, but nothing more was for our day with a certain provision of such matters in spec.

The continued very dry, all in good order.

21st. Sunday. Read prayers and a sermon in the prison to the convicts. The sermon was an excellent one and seemed to gain their entire attention. Two sick in bed. Weather improves and has had a fair effect in relieving those persons already afflicted with intestinal disorders, and preventing their increase in fresh cases. First continued in the prison. Prison dry, clean, and comfortable.

3rd Sunday. Off coast of New Holland near Jarvis Bay. Mad Jacques to the convicts in the prison and the address declaring satisfaction with their good conduct throughout the voyage. Advising future good behaviour, and promising pardon of all the officers committed on board. Their prayers and attention seemed considerably increased; and I hope that thence on board the "John Barby" will not be found otherwise.

of the end notes.

the character of prosecutor as I had declared
